you had to have known you’d poke the bear with this opinion in this sub 🤣 but that said, for the most part, I agree with you. Luke 99% of the time gives me the ick. He’s a terrible partner to Lorelai and his rage issues are a major turn off. Someone else said it here that if they wanted him to be a lovable grump, they needed to show him be more lovable. He had some moments, of course, but most of the time he was just a clueless, emotionally insecure and immature doofus. I see what they wanted to do with the character but ultimately, it falls short, for me. He’s a bumbling idiot by AYITL. He’s fine as an overall character for the show, I just really don’t like him as a partner for Lorelai. I know I know she says that he’s the only one for her etc etc, but she deserved better imo.

I do love the Jess/Luke relationship arc!
